John 8.2-11 tells the story of how Jesus saved from being stoned a woman caught in adultery, but does not mention her name. The story appears in different places in some old manuscripts but does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century. If the author of John's Gospel was not really the author of this passage, we have reason to doubt whether it really happened at all, or whether the woman really existed. Perhaps the passage was intended to provide moral guidance for later generations.
